oh sorry :) its because im dyslexic... i usually try and get sombody to proof read but nobody is in my house these days... so apologes to peopls here... please bear with me as i do try. ANYWAY.... somone must know about the theory behind intervals to create certain moods :D

Carulli_Guitar.... thank you, there was alot of inspiratiion inspiration in your post... composing IS a difficult art and i have only rellly really been doing it less than a year, althogh although i am trying to compose something everyday. It will take time to get up to a good standared standard, however i'm determined to get to a standard i'm happy with... it maybe is just practise, however editing great motifs is a good technique i strangly strangely never really used I think probbally probably because i was striving for original exellence excellence when i maybe did not have the excellence anyone got any other tips... Oh and what about things like 5ths and 7ths.... for instance if i wanted a melacholic melancholic (for example) motif what keys and intivals intervals between notes are good for getting certain moods.. thanks :happy: PS i can't figuer figure out this link buisness business. I attatch attach the file but it doesent doesn't come up and i don't have any file posting things on my computer.... however it's irrelivent irrelevant really as i'm reasonably happy with my "back catalouge catalogue" of music

ok heres a little recording of a few of my tracks.. apologise for the skipping i was just trying to find the right place in the track... however im not to worried with these ones here.. (however feedback will be most appreciated) its more im not continuing to have more ideas for motifs im just a bit stuck at producing new materiall.. what techniques are there to writing motifs.. is what i mainly need to know... thank for the reply by the way ;)

hi im having alot of problems writing motifs at the moment i compose 4/4 repetitive dance music and i always find that my leads are never as intresting as the professionals i just end up spending ages and ages randomly playing on my keyboard trying to get a nice motif however when i do get one its always just OK i understand about how using 5ths elimintes the possiblity of notes which can work. however there must be more stuff im missing as to writing really memorable motifs please help me with this as ive had mental block for a while now and its really annoying me.. thank you ;)

hi im rubbish at composing.. :( are there any tips or tricks to writing good chord progessions (for piano).... so far i only really know the chord C,E,G and then like progressions but keeping my fingers in the same position. in other words the tonic, fourth and seventh (i think :D ) ive heard a good way to get nice melodys is to have a good chord progression so.. how do you go about writing melodys from that chord progression..... (or just nice melodys as a whole) all my songs will be in 4/4 timing by the way my aim is really to write motifs (but like memorable ones) rather than stuff without ostinato... i compose reppetitve dance music sooo im kindof thinking melodic hooks.. any help or advice will deffinatly be MOST appreciated... ;) :P

i dont play any thing and it hasent really hindered me in any way.. althouh it would be nice if i could play my midi keyboard a bit better so i dont have to go back into the piano roll to correct stuff

i find that looking into the composers history a bit helps... the reason being: you find that theyve gone through tha same hurdles you have.. so if they managed it so can you.. and useually you find theyve dedicated themselves to getting that good ... and that for anyone is inspirational .... the last time i felt that inspiration rush.... (technical term an "afalatus") was while reading the profile of freeform producer Arkitech on the nec site.

:P yeah i like that nice happy and a bit bouncy..... although.... it does sound like four difernt songs kinda ....like in one...... all those songs are good like.... but maybe try swapping round the order of the sections.... i dont know really... its kinda good as is.. im jus trying to look for critism if u get me. i think you'll be fine for your exam though :D

i use ableton live 5 with midi keyboard bunch of free plug-ins and some nice monitors but then im kinda making a different style of music to most people round here... im new by the way ..soo hi :D
